With the current health care crises, there is a growing awareness of the need for integrated approaches to medical and psychological care. In this light, we will see what qigong can offer psychotherapy, and what psychotherapy can offer qigong practitioners. Dr. Michael Mayer will discuss how he incorporates Qigong in his psychotherapy practice with issues such as anxiety, substance abuse and body/mind healing . This lecture will include exercises to help us experience how the traditions of wu ch'i qigong (the stillness from which ch'i arises), zhan zhuang (standing like a tree), and Yi Ch'uan (the intentionality behind the various systems of ch'uan) can facilitate healing and harmonize mind, body and spirit.
